We got a copy of the book and have been getting lost in the seemingly endless illustrations. We highly recommend that you do so as well, if you have any interest in building from scrap, or unique structures. Even if you aren’t that interested in construction, the eclectic style and humorous rants about waste might just be enough to keep this book around.

I’ll have to incoporate some future-tech, Hal/Brainiac-computer components into my next project, so you won’t get any flak for being too eclectic. Or I’ll devise some “Wii Fort” software- for today’s kids who are too lazy to actually build anything themselves and venture outdoors.

@UltraMagnus: They can’t tell you, or else their Big Oil/Pharma/Government paymasters will have them assassinated by the masons or the Templars. The only way I’m able to say this is because I’m wearing my pasta boots, which make me immune to their Area 51 alien control rays.

50 weeks of the year, nobody says anything about books. It happens twice in one week and you think somebody is getting paid? When it’s happening every week we’ll talk but this is an insignificant burp in the numbers.

@Alchemyguy pasta boots, shoot I knew I had been doing something wrong, guess it is time to take the starch out of my shirt and put it into my shoes.

If other people are looking into building tiny houses I really recommend checking out http://tinyhouseblog.com/ as inspiration and the occasional plan (I am in no way affiliated with them). And also check out this TED video on manspaces for see how cool this projects can become.
